Enjoying it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to replace my old ASUS TUF Gaming Laptop that I bought back in 2019... So far I'm loving it, but I am a touch disappointed that the keyboard doesn't do colors like my old one did. Minor complaint, but still. :P

A "Tuf" gaming laptop
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laptop is awesome for its price point. The construction is solid and after several weeks of using it I can say it is a great machine and well worth the cost.

Black screen
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sometimes the screen will go black when you try to wake the laptop after a gaming session. It is annoying and so far there have not been any resolutions.

Good Value, Great Performance
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ASUS TUF Gaming Advantage Series come in a variety of configurations designed to satisfy the range of value gamer to more demanding. This review covers the value edition, and the bottom line is it didn't disappoint my casual gaming style. Like anything else, you spend more you get more, but I don't have any regrets on the performance this value model delivered. Not once while playing did I think, this computer is not up to the task, rather it let me dive into the game and forget the specs. As for the specs, it has decent amount of 16 gb DDR5 Ram, a FHD 165 hz free sync fast, sharp 1920 x1080 LCD screen, 512 gb PCIE storage, two USB A ports, two USB C ports, audio out, HDMI, and LAN port. Some might argue it's light on ports, but if you want a value computer, you are going to make sacrifices. I could live with these. It also saved money on the speakers (mediocre), fan design (got noisy under heaving gaming load), and brightness (or not) on the screen (fine for indoors, don't go outdoors). For a gaming computer, it correctly puts its money into the discrete graphics board based on the AMD Radeon RX 7600S GPU with 8 gb VRAM and the AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS CPU, all packaged in a surprisingly good case design that was both solid (no real screen flex unless forced), and stylish with limited bezels. I’m fine putting it into a good backpack, though it was a tad heavy. This isn’t for taking to class. Other ergonomic features I really liked include the trackpad, a reasonable size and clicking tension, and the keyboard was okay. It tends toward the spongy side, but only slightly, definitely was usable. For some the included number keypad will be a plus, but for me it meant the direction arrows were on the small side. The surprising area where the computer shines is a longer than average battery life. You won't want to game on battery (it throttles performance), but you can do casual browsing and video playing for over 10 hours. Nitpicks include (that may or may not affect you), no biometric fingerprint recognition, a power cord that inserts halfway through the side, a dark exterior that acts as a fingerprint magnet, and along with fan noise, it gets way too hot for the lap under load. All in all, for me, it's a good set of compromises that delivers on cost. But does it deliver on gameplay? YES. The balanced combination of screen, CPU, and GPU meant it handled any game I threw at it. I spend most of my time in Elden Ring and it didn't seem to matter how many textures, particles, and hostiles were on the screen, it kept up solid, fluid game play. It worked well with my playstation controller out of the box. Yes, it got hot, even loud, but frame rate always kept up. I recommend it as a game computer if you are on a budget.

Gaming PC TUF
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.PC does run pretty good. The graphics are pretty solid, and very responsive. I’d say the only down side would be that it feels cheaper than 1.3K but if you don’t care about how it feels or how it looks then you should definitely get it.

noisy and blue screen after a year and half.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works well when it decides to work. I have had quite a few blue screens. Recently, I've been hearing a lot of unnatural, loud fan noises that sound like when you were a kid and put a pop can in the tire to make it sound like a motorcycle. This laptop resides at home and rarely leaves its desk.

Good but doesn’t have a good battery.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The computer is great, but you have to keep it on the charger. Without the charger you’ll probably have 15-20 mins of battery life before it starts power saving.

Best gaming laptop
